I watch and listen to BBC Radio, hallmark movies, TH-cam English videos, and use different apps and podcasts. That's that Sir. REALLY enjoyable video you made.
I think my English is bad, but I know I want to learnt it, not to study it. I can't wait to see at least one full movie every single day in English. I can't help myself, it's stronger than me, I am addicted to hear English. If I hear US English I can feel butterflies in my stomach. Just by Listening English I made a big progress. On the other hand my spoken English is terrible.
Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. That's great you're improving your listening skills. Keep it up! The more exposure you get, it will complement your speaking skills. 👍
Thank you, Wes, for saving my day. I’ve always had the bad feeling that my listening was my worst skill in English and supposedly there was no hope to improving it. Whatsoever.
Hi! I’m Adriano, from Brazil and I’ve been studying English for more than 6 years now, so I do have some experience. However, when it comes to watching movies in English it’s not easy. I’m a bit lazy to watch movies in English, but I know I need to. I watched one last week and I could understand 60% - 70% of it, which made me feel so happy!
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Adriano. Movies are great for practicing your listening skills. That's great you understand the majority of what you hear. 😊
Watching this kind of video; reading books in english. I know I can not understand every single word but when you see a video with a good explanations like this and then you read a book you can find more clear every expression or statements inside of this.
Well, Mr. Wes, you're the first teacher that I came across so seriously and really you're badass. First teacher who is encouraging his students to watch and appealing to come close to music, TV, etc. You're really amazing Sir.
For practicing English listening skills , I'm a huge fan of TV shows and movies . And I don't watch them for learning I just love them and I actually enjoy them . Until now I have watched more than 3000 episodes 😁 I track my shows with TV time app.
@@Pedro94-dp at first I started watching them with subtitles in my native language, then after some months I watched them with English subtitles. At the end no subtitle was needed and I could understand most of it
Thanks for this video. I regularly watch The Tonight Show and I'm trying with Breaking Bad (yes... again but this time in English and without subtitles), and still have a problem with my listening. I can't find the answer, even after watching this video... I can understand all what you say, I can understand others when having a conversation with me... I can understand a conference or a class. But when I watch a movie or when I try to listen to the news, it's like OMG! I feel like a beginner.
To improve my English skill one way I do is watching your videos and at the same time I talk loud following your talking like "repeating your talking" myself. I am enjoy watching your videos everytime!!!
I listen to channels like yours. And I see the same scene over and over again until I get to the bottom of it. Sometimes I put down the words I'm hearing to make sure that I have pick up every single word. Thank you Wes for your lessons. There are very interesting!
It's exactly what I am facing. When I watch movies ,it is bit hard to understand what's being said ,without subtitles . But I can understand each and every word that you said in your videos. It may be because you speak clearly word by word and not so fast. I love it..
Thanks for your comment. Glad our lessons are easy to follow and understand. Just keep listening & your skills will continue to improve. Have a great day! 😊
Hello Wes teacher, I'm doing listening a music, the movies .sometimes I have wrong every words before I seen a text,, but I listen so clearly when you teaching here. What is your level of English while teaching here?Million tank to you
Good clear informative presentation, even for a native speaker. When I was learning Spanish, I sometimes said I had learned enough Spanish to get into trouble, but not enough to get out.
Man, I've been practicing listening for a year now, I have about 500 hundred active hours+ I've no clue of passive hours hahaha (I've been listening to all things in English), I can easily hold full conversations with natives about a bunch of different topics, from day-to-day situations to Psychology, even watching you and other youtube videos at 1.5/2.0 playback speed, I struggle a lot when it comes to movies and songs. I'm tackling this now, but It's sad this reality, music is a complete different beast.
Besides what you said , I think the subject matter sometimes may be confusing to the listener , what I hate most in movies is the sequences of the events are not clear , the beginning should be clear and encouraging to peruse
@@InteractiveEng I have been perusing your videos for years , they are wonderful and I'm making use of them in my teaching , I've been teaching in high schools and Teacher training Institutes for about forty years , I teach more advanced lessons in pragmatics, discourse analysis, as well as literature
Thank you so much wes obviously i apreciate what you're saying and the way you're helping people around the world and sometimes i didn't get understand what they're saying in movies because they speak quickly but i'm gonna follow your advices in order to see how's gonna pan out
Gracias por escribirnos. Me alegre que te disfrutas nuestros videos. Creo que tu sugerencia sea una buena idea. Un dia tendremos un video en Espanol. Have a great day! 😉
I am from india i usually used to think that why the Hollywood movies sound is so low compared to Bollywood,thanks it helped me alot and i got motivated, thanks
Hello, I used to use caption while watching a movie, but not anymore because I watch same movie more than once. Also I like to hear american dad, it’s funny and they talk like in real life. It help me a lot. BTW thank you for your time to making these videos.
Hi, Wes, this video is very helpful English learner I totally agree with you it's hard to understand native speakers use linking, reduction, it's hard to catch what they are saying I wouldn't feel bad whatsoever I watch all the time sitcom friend because either that show is comedy first foremost they using phrases idiom I learn English but also pronunciation and watching different type of interviews that would be Jennifer aniston Matthew perry brad pitt leanardo decaprio. I will appreciate you cuz I learned lot watching your videos.
Thanks for your help. It is so interesting when watching your video. I just watch TH-cam in English to enhance my listening skills. I understood approximately 90% of this video. Over time, I realize I can listen more. You are right, I study English without the pressure or target. Just study it every day. It becomes a part of my lifetime. Thank you so much.
I listen to conversation with two persons and repeat it many times then I pick another one and i do the same thing and I sometimes watch TV shows that I enjoy watching that's what I really believe can improve me
Loud and clear.i practise or learn with Netflix with subtitles in english i understand everything .the songs i have to write them down. I love pink. Give me a reason which i translated in italian. I can sing It now that know the meaning. More or less🤔i m never sick and tired of your lessons. Have nice day 🤗😻
Ah Wes, unfortunately you are really right. I understand everything you and somebody else speak, but when I am listening to music or seeing movies, series, or tv I understand maybe 50 or 60% and then I feel very bad, but I am always trying to improve my listening. Who knows some day I’ll get there? Thanks for the great Chanel. Certainly, you have helped so many people.
Hi. I usually do for brush up my listening skill is watching friends tv show and big bang theory is the most effective way to get off to new stage of skill you could get from those show that you are watching.
Thanks for sharing with us. Definitely keep hope alive. Music can be so difficult to understand (such as the song in the lesson). Keep watching, keep commenting, and keep up the good work. 😊
@@InteractiveEng Excuse Me please. 'I was so upset that i dont understand songs', more correct is: 'I was so upset that i DIDn't understand songs. Do you have such lessons about times?
Hi, teacher Wes!!!! It's true.Love music. However sometimes I loose a phrase or word and one feels down. Thanks your advice encourages us not to give up.😊🎶🎵🎶👍
For me and maybe for most of us Learners, understanding you is kinda easy because we got the general idea of the speach you are giving... In movies and music there's no logical sequence... Sometimes they bring in some words, that we usually don't know yet, just for the rhime.. or something like that.. making the understanding pretty hard for us... Keep doing this great job you guys.. best.
Hi Peter. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. You're right about the sequence of music. That's another reason why it can be challenging. Hope you have a great day! 😃
When I listen to news or watch TV if the words are new and i don't know i can't understad.If i know the words that used i can understand very well. I think improving our vocabulary is also very important ..Thank you so much for your helpful videos.
Thanks a lot for this lesson. In fact, music has helped me a lot to upgrade my listening , and is one of primary reasons why I love studying English ❤️
I have been used the app Hellotalk and at least once a week I talk by call with an american friend. Also, I love listen to gospel song and it's help me a lot. Therefore, I have very difficult to understand movies, tv show. They speak very fast and I get frustrated. One day I will get there.
A long time ago I used to watch the "Crossroads Cafe English Learning Program" which helped me a lot. That is an old TV show but the actors had different accents and that got me involved and excited to learn. Pretty cool :)
I'd like to share mine. For me, it is 'The Mentalist' / 'Modern Family' / 'Matilda' / 'Happy Death Day' / 'animated Batman series like Batman TAS(1992.9.~), and so on that I used or am using to improve my listening ㅎ-ㅎ
Lim I think it is a good news if you don't completely understand what you listened. Because you are going to pick up something new. It is the fun part of lingua leaning. By the way, I think Spanish listening is really tough. I personaly find Spanish is even tougher than French…
I find your videos extremely important, enjoyable, and helpful. Thanks a lot for your efforts. I have one problem, and I was hoping you can reply to me, or make a video about it. Sometimes, it is very difficult to comprehend academic texts, especially those complex, really advanced-level ones. Can you give some pieces of advice concerning how to better comprehend and decode the meaning of such texts, please? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoy our lessons. In you case, I think two things are important. 1) Continue building your vocabulary. 2) Continue to get more exposure (especially reading). But I'll keep this in mind for a future lesson. 😃👍
Thanks for you encouragement. You are right learners should read, watch and listen to that things that are interesting. I can take film in English that I like and watch some episodes over and over again. And then watch entire film. There you can learn informal language.
Hi Irina. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. That's a great way to practice your listening skills. Hope you keep watching, keep commenting, and keep up the good work. 😃👍
Hi Wes! I use to watch vídeos on TH-cam or Netflix's series with subtitules. I understand you pretty much, 95% maybe. You speak so clear, that helps a lot. Whenever you want, we can chat in Spanish ✌🏼️ Un saludo desde México.
Hi Carmen. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Glad our lessons are easy to follow and understand. It would be great to start practicing Spanish again, but right now it's hard to find the time with a new baby. Hope you have a wonderful day. 😃👍
Nowadays everybody can improve English or even another language with internet. I've been studying English through lots of different ways! I put in my mind that every content in English could be a useful material, so I can't simply leave it to gain time. I intend to visiting the USA one day so if I really want to experience that I've got to force my mind to get every single word I've not absorved yet. So I'm here to increase my knowledgments in English... and of course I'm trying to share my experience with you guys without any translater. Finally I would like to thank you, that unfortunately I can't remember the name yet, and to congratulate you for your job. Keep it up! Best wishes!! Bye!
Hi Ciro. My name is Wes. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. We hope you find our video lessons useful as you continue to improve your English skills. Have a great week! 😃👍
I watched Joker for the first time in English months ago, and bever had to look at the subtitles. 20 minutes ago I put on 'No Country for Old man" and could hardly understand half of the opening monologue. I was so frustrated I stopped watching it..
Hello Wes! Thanks for another useful video! As you know, I'm also a teacher and I can say that The Vampire Diaries taught me English I mean it made me start speaking English!
Thanks so much for sharing with us Keti. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. I've heard of The Vampire Diaries, but I haven't seen an episode. Perhaps I'll have to check it out sometime. 😉👍
I have been following a few topics on YoutTubefor the last year or so and feel like there is really nothing that can surprise me anymore in terms of the language. Then I watched part of The Big Bang Theory Episode and seemed quite clueless about the jokes used in the series. I had to stop th video, look up some of the phrases, but even then I was still clueless about what the f that was supposed to mean and why that was funny. When I follow politics, philosophy and other topics on TH-cam, if I don't know an expression, looking it up in a dictionary is typically all it takes to help me understand what they mean. In these series of movies, the meaning is often so subtle that looking it up in 10 dictionaries doesn't help and it makes me just give up. This used to be my worst frustration back in the day when movies served to improve my English. I used to force myself to look everything up and often went out of my way to nail down all these obscure cultural jokes. Now I find it much more comfortable to follow a specific topic, which I follow for a longer period. All the words typically start making a lot of sense to me and even new expressions are easier for me to pick up as it makes a lot more sense to me when connected to the topic. I can pick up on the subtleties of expressions within the topic a lot better than in the movies, where they suddenly throw some obscure expressions or jokes at you and there is just very little you can do to pick up on these subtleties as it often goes deep into culture, which I have no chance at understanding. The series is translated in my native languages and frankly, a lot of these deep cultural jokes are butchered and don't even find them funny. Sometimes the background laughter sounds really awkward as there is no laughter coming from my direction as a response. Now, looking at my first sentence, it might be a little hyperbolic, but nevertheless, gets my point across quite well. The solution might be, if you really want to learn English through movies, to simply ignore the subtle jokes and focus on what you understand, however, if they are used too often, you may want to choose a different series, or just learn the words directly linked to the main theme of the movie. If the main theme is relationships or love, follow just love expressions and idioms, for instance, but ignore the jokes about food or popular culture references. It then puts too much strain on the brain and you might experience a burnout quite soon. Sorry for typos, but there is some kind of bug in my browser most likely.
I watch movies and cartoons and also news from abc news and I also listening to music without see the lyrics and I follow channels like this one, they are in complete englsih or spanglish but I try to keep in touch with the language always
U r a friendly teacher ty for ur teaching but I hope u give some videos to teach reduction and links like gonna hafta shoulda coulda woulda but pls advanced lesson .or not common cotractions like didy which u say I have never heard of it thanks and sorry 4 this long writing
Hi Wes your videos are fantastic and very helpful and you explain very well I understand perfectly you but TV music and movies really is very hard to understand Thanks a lot have a great night
Haha I feel the same.sometimes I think that I have a good skill at listening English but then when I talk to someone that had different accent I feel bad because I don’t have any clue what they are asking. Like a girl at my work place she’s a very southern accent and it’s a challenge for me to talk to her 🤔 even though it’s alright,I love challenging myself haha
I usually use my favorite TV series and movies. And I try to watch the same episode 3 or 4 times. The first time without subtitle. The second time, before watching it, I try to read the transcripts of the whole episode and understand everything. After that, I watch it one or two more times without subtitles again. That's it! I guess repetition is the key.

I'm Hadi from Iraq .

Hi Hadi. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. You're using some great resources to practice your listening skills. Keep up the good work! 😃👍
It's natural. People's natural conversation is just noise, noise and noise. In the movies, music or any fictional contents, you need to be grammatically correct or more eloquent for people to understand you. If actors in movies or TV spoke like people in daily life, nobody would understand what they say and people will turn off the channel. Movies dialogue is conversation is heard from the outside while people's daily conversation do not need to be exact and correct because everyone can see the speakers. If you hear the daily conversation of people from the outside perspective, you won't understand any while you can understand movie's dialogue even though you're not their friends or you have never met them. Movie's characters' role are guiding audience to understand the stories. More variety of words, idioms, slang are being employed to have some rhythms so the audience can naturally fit into the stories. If people just hear the noisy conversation like daily life in the movie theater, people will be confused and cannot follow the stories. If daily conversation require only about 100 words in minimum, movie dialogue sometimes contain 5,000 to 10,000 vocabulary and idioms depending on the subject of movies.
IN 2005 MY ENGLISH TEACHER WAS TEACHING WITH MUSIC AND MOVIE AND I SPEAK ENGLISH VERY WELL BUT IAM AGREE WITH YOU TEACHER WES WE HAVE MANY SONGS WITH SLANGS AND SPEED SONGS WHAT THE PEOPLE DON´T UNDERSTAND NOTHING IT´S REAL BUT IS IT ? I THINK SO AVALIABLE STUDY ENGLISH FOR COMMUNICATIONS WITH PEOPLE FROM UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN AND EUROPE CONTINET IT´S EASY I THINK.
I don't understand when I'm wachting movies and songs. I can understand you 100%, wherever, there are some videos in English that it's difficult to me too. It's weird and boring.

Thanks for sharing with us. Definitely keep hope alive. Music can be so difficult to understand (such as the song in the lesson). Keep watching, keep commenting, and keep up the good work. 😊
@@InteractiveEng Excuse Me please. 'I was so upset that i dont understand songs', more correct is: 'I was so upset that i DIDn't understand songs. Do you have such lessons about times?
Hi, teacher Wes!!!! It's true.Love music. However sometimes I loose a phrase or word and one feels down. Thanks your advice encourages us not to give up.😊🎶🎵🎶👍

I must tell you, teacher Wes that every time I like your English videos more....
Hi Mateo. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson.👍
I watch your videos daily 😀.you are my favorite teacher and TH-camr 🙂
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment. 😃
For me and maybe for most of us Learners, understanding you is kinda easy because we got the general idea of the speach you are giving... In movies and music there's no logical sequence... Sometimes they bring in some words, that we usually don't know yet, just for the rhime.. or something like that.. making the understanding pretty hard for us... Keep doing this great job you guys.. best.
Hi Peter. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. You're right about the sequence of music. That's another reason why it can be challenging. Hope you have a great day! 😃
That's so true, nowadays with the technology and the internet you can learn and listen English wherever and whenever you want to.
Absolutely. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Have a great week! 😊
It's very helpfull. Thank you so much teacher.😊

Fantastic teacher on you tube chanel..thanks....
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment. Hope you have a great day. 😃
When I listen to news or watch TV if the words are new and i don't know i can't understad.If i know the words that used i can understand very well. I think improving our vocabulary is also very important ..Thank you so much for your helpful videos.
Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. Hope you have a wonderful day. 😊
You are an amazing teacher! I am trying to help my nephew and nice to learning the real English with your videos. Thank you so much!
That's great. We hope our videos are useful. Thanks so much for your comment. 👍
Thanks a lot for this lesson. In fact, music has helped me a lot to upgrade my listening , and is one of primary reasons why I love studying English ❤️
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Cesar. Hope you have a great day. 😊
I have been used the app Hellotalk and at least once a week I talk by call with an american friend. Also, I love listen to gospel song and it's help me a lot. Therefore, I have very difficult to understand movies, tv show. They speak very fast and I get frustrated. One day I will get there.
Thanks for sharing with us Ana. Those are great ways to practice your skills. 😊
A long time ago I used to watch the "Crossroads Cafe English Learning Program" which helped me a lot. That is an old TV show but the actors had different accents and that got me involved and excited to learn. Pretty cool :)
I'd like to share mine. For me, it is 'The Mentalist' / 'Modern Family' / 'Matilda' / 'Happy Death Day' / 'animated Batman series like Batman TAS(1992.9.~), and so on that I used or am using to improve my listening ㅎ-ㅎ
I basically watch your videos,ted talk and netflix to improve myself
That's great Lakshmi. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍

I think it is a good news if you don't completely understand what you listened. Because you are going to pick up something new. It is the fun part of lingua leaning.
By the way, I think Spanish listening is really tough. I personaly find Spanish is even tougher than French…
Great lesson! thank you!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Have a great day. 😊
I find your videos extremely important, enjoyable, and helpful. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
I have one problem, and I was hoping you can reply to me, or make a video about it. Sometimes, it is very difficult to comprehend academic texts, especially those complex, really advanced-level ones. Can you give some pieces of advice concerning how to better comprehend and decode the meaning of such texts, please? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoy our lessons. In you case, I think two things are important. 1) Continue building your vocabulary. 2) Continue to get more exposure (especially reading). But I'll keep this in mind for a future lesson. 😃👍
I like your lesson and your accent is easy to understand.
Thanks for checking out the lesson. Hope you have a wonderful day. 😊
Thanks for you encouragement. You are right learners should read, watch and listen to that things that are interesting. I can take film in English that I like and watch some episodes over and over again. And then watch entire film. There you can learn informal language.
Hi Irina. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. That's a great way to practice your listening skills. Hope you keep watching, keep commenting, and keep up the good work. 😃👍
Hi Wes! I use to watch vídeos on TH-cam or Netflix's series with subtitules. I understand you pretty much, 95% maybe. You speak so clear, that helps a lot. Whenever you want, we can chat in Spanish ✌🏼️ Un saludo desde México.
Hi Carmen. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Glad our lessons are easy to follow and understand. It would be great to start practicing Spanish again, but right now it's hard to find the time with a new baby. Hope you have a wonderful day. 😃👍
golden advice :)
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 😃
Nowadays everybody can improve English or even another language with internet. I've been studying English through lots of different ways! I put in my mind that every content in English could be a useful material, so I can't simply leave it to gain time. I intend to visiting the USA one day so if I really want to experience that I've got to force my mind to get every single word I've not absorved yet. So I'm here to increase my knowledgments in English... and of course I'm trying to share my experience with you guys without any translater. Finally I would like to thank you, that unfortunately I can't remember the name yet, and to congratulate you for your job. Keep it up! Best wishes!! Bye!
Hi Ciro. My name is Wes. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. We hope you find our video lessons useful as you continue to improve your English skills. Have a great week! 😃👍
I've watched "I spit on your grave" totally and I loved it, thank you for everything you told us
Hi Ariel. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍
I think friends show is very useful to improve the listening skills and to submerge in the American culture.
I watched Joker for the first time in English months ago, and bever had to look at the subtitles. 20 minutes ago I put on 'No Country for Old man" and could hardly understand half of the opening monologue. I was so frustrated I stopped watching it..
Hi Wes! Thanks so much . Now I can understand little more because l listening more music and video.
Thanks for checking out the lesson Tania. Glad you found it useful. 😊
Tq u sir
Welcome. 😃
Hello Wes! Thanks for another useful video! As you know, I'm also a teacher and I can say that The Vampire Diaries taught me English I mean it made me start speaking English!
Thanks so much for sharing with us Keti. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. I've heard of The Vampire Diaries, but I haven't seen an episode. Perhaps I'll have to check it out sometime. 😉👍
I have been following a few topics on YoutTubefor the last year or so and feel like there is really nothing that can surprise me anymore in terms of the language. Then I watched part of The Big Bang Theory Episode and seemed quite clueless about the jokes used in the series. I had to stop th video, look up some of the phrases, but even then I was still clueless about what the f that was supposed to mean and why that was funny. When I follow politics, philosophy and other topics on TH-cam, if I don't know an expression, looking it up in a dictionary is typically all it takes to help me understand what they mean. In these series of movies, the meaning is often so subtle that looking it up in 10 dictionaries doesn't help and it makes me just give up. This used to be my worst frustration back in the day when movies served to improve my English. I used to force myself to look everything up and often went out of my way to nail down all these obscure cultural jokes. Now I find it much more comfortable to follow a specific topic, which I follow for a longer period. All the words typically start making a lot of sense to me and even new expressions are easier for me to pick up as it makes a lot more sense to me when connected to the topic. I can pick up on the subtleties of expressions within the topic a lot better than in the movies, where they suddenly throw some obscure expressions or jokes at you and there is just very little you can do to pick up on these subtleties as it often goes deep into culture, which I have no chance at understanding. The series is translated in my native languages and frankly, a lot of these deep cultural jokes are butchered and don't even find them funny. Sometimes the background laughter sounds really awkward as there is no laughter coming from my direction as a response. Now, looking at my first sentence, it might be a little hyperbolic, but nevertheless, gets my point across quite well.
The solution might be, if you really want to learn English through movies, to simply ignore the subtle jokes and focus on what you understand, however, if they are used too often, you may want to choose a different series, or just learn the words directly linked to the main theme of the movie. If the main theme is relationships or love, follow just love expressions and idioms, for instance, but ignore the jokes about food or popular culture references. It then puts too much strain on the brain and you might experience a burnout quite soon.
Sorry for typos, but there is some kind of bug in my browser most likely.
Thanks Wes. Your points are awesome!
Keep up the good job!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for commenting & have a great day. 😊

Haha I feel the same.sometimes I think that I have a good skill at listening English but then when I talk to someone that had different accent I feel bad because I don’t have any clue what they are asking. Like a girl at my work place she’s a very southern accent and it’s a challenge for me to talk to her 🤔 even though it’s alright,I love challenging myself haha
I'm doing the most crucial thing which raising motivation about the hearing whole things in the part.

Lots of you tube videos nd some series of Netflix I watch whenever I gets time
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. 😊
I usually use my favorite TV series and movies. And I try to watch the same episode 3 or 4 times. The first time without subtitle. The second time, before watching it, I try to read the transcripts of the whole episode and understand everything. After that, I watch it one or two more times without subtitles again. That's it! I guess repetition is the key.
Thanks for sharing with us Rodrigo. That's a great way to study, and a very active way of learning as well. Keep it up! 👏

Hi Hadi. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. You're using some great resources to practice your listening skills. Keep up the good work! 😃👍
It's natural. People's natural conversation is just noise, noise and noise. In the movies, music or any fictional contents, you need to be grammatically correct or more eloquent for people to understand you. If actors in movies or TV spoke like people in daily life, nobody would understand what they say and people will turn off the channel. Movies dialogue is conversation is heard from the outside while people's daily conversation do not need to be exact and correct because everyone can see the speakers. If you hear the daily conversation of people from the outside perspective, you won't understand any while you can understand movie's dialogue even though you're not their friends or you have never met them. Movie's characters' role are guiding audience to understand the stories. More variety of words, idioms, slang are being employed to have some rhythms so the audience can naturally fit into the stories. If people just hear the noisy conversation like daily life in the movie theater, people will be confused and cannot follow the stories. If daily conversation require only about 100 words in minimum, movie dialogue sometimes contain 5,000 to 10,000 vocabulary and idioms depending on the subject of movies.
IN 2005 MY ENGLISH TEACHER WAS TEACHING WITH MUSIC AND MOVIE AND I SPEAK ENGLISH VERY WELL BUT IAM AGREE WITH YOU TEACHER WES WE HAVE MANY SONGS WITH SLANGS AND SPEED SONGS WHAT THE PEOPLE DON´T UNDERSTAND NOTHING IT´S REAL BUT IS IT ? I THINK SO AVALIABLE STUDY ENGLISH FOR COMMUNICATIONS WITH PEOPLE FROM UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN AND EUROPE CONTINET IT´S EASY I THINK.
